heyas; there you are, gold tassel, i just emailed you and told you to post here ;) in this case, it will not be possible to parent the prop to a figure. but i was wondering, if anybody had tried doing the mat pose thing, for a prop, but saving it in the lights or camera directory; if that had any affect on the outcome. i mean, pose files only apply to figures, obviously, but lights/camera files.... would they care?
